Come and hear about IBM's latest contribution to The Open Group, the Cloud Computing Reference Architecture (CCRA). This session will provide an overview of the CCRA and share some of the history behind its development and its heritage from SOA. We will also position it with other work in The Open Group SOA and Cloud Work Groups. In addition we will do an example of applying the CCRA to provide real solutions for users.
